  1. The presales has been IMAX-driven , the standard screen has minimal occupancy rate, suggest that the film will be fan driven and the general public aren't getting the marketing that WB is pushing for, or they just got too worried to buy the ticket .
  2. While despite the prolonged added new cases, the number of death seem to remain low.
  3. It is so rare to see Hollywood film completely left out from the Obon festival field
  4. In the plot twist, China beat domestic as the biggest box office zone in 2020.
  5. Figure released by Douban/ Mtimes before HP 7.2 was released. HP3 is in the 3rd row, and it made RMB62m. The 1st HP made only RMB21m. and each sequel gross more than the last entry.
  6. Note: After publication, a Warner Bros. representative responded: “We’ve only announced 9/3 at this stage.”
  7. HP Series in China HP1 : USD3m HP2: USD7.4m HP3: USD8.9m HP4: USD13.5m HP5: USD20.7m HP6: US22.4m HP7.1: USD31.4m HP7.2: USD60.8m I read some old article about China box office back in 2002, and they cheered for the big success of HP1 in china for just USD3m gross!!! 3m gross was a headline sensation in 2002! No wonder people freaked out when titanic made 50m+ in 1997. And today, even presale for a re-release run managed to triple that figure. Just show how big China market has turned into in less than 20 years.
  8. In many Asian countries , we either pirate it or watch it in cinema, no such thing as paying money to see movie at home.
  9. This week's catalog title of old movies are less attractive than last week's
  10. So you are suggesting people think GWTW is problematic simply because they already hated the movie?
  11. Because people hate him for beating Citizen Kane with How Green was my valley, despite the fact that Orson himself regards Ford as one of the best director of all time.
  12. LOTR: FOTR is the first film of the Middle-Earth double trilogy, it has the "origin/first out of the gate" element in the hype. Also, it was nominated for 13 Oscars including Best Picture, which definitely washed away its franchiseness. Raider of lost ark wasn't a franchise by the time it get released. As for Schindler's list, no justification is needed to exclude it from the list of franchise. TDK and ESB are the purest "franchise" film among top 5, and even with that, the former has Nolan brand to shield it from anti-franchise community.
  13. 14 actual Oscar Best Picture like Godfather Part I & II, Titanic, Parasite, The Apartment 29 are Oscar best picture nominees such as Raider of Lost Ark, Apocalypse Now, Mad Max Fury Road, Saving Private Ryan 9 are Oscar best animated feature winner includes Inside Out, Sprited Away and Spiderverse 2 are Oscar best foreign language film winner like Parasite and 7 Samurai
  14. I like how they showed Coppola in two different boxes when they announce the winner, just to show that he directed two Best picture nominees , Godfather Part II and The conversation in a same year with Godfather II named as winner and forever remember as one of the best in history of visual art.
  15. Did nobody know Federico Fellini when they mention great cinema of prep1970?
  16. I have always regard Taxi Driver as Scorsese' best movie, with the Colour of Money and Goodfellas tied in 2nd. It is almost like a accidental success to even Scorsese he himself.
  17. Given the multiple delays, They should just rename this movie to "The Old Mutants"
  18. This could be perfect time for small release from A24 or Sony Classic to have mini-breakout, they have been doing staggering release all this while after all.
  19. Maybe after this we can do something like the greatest acting of all time
  20. The world of mouth of this one is terrible in my country (although it did break opening record for SK film). the melodramatic style of the first one was what made it a commercial success.
  21. City of God has the best editing achievement in cinematic history. The other film I can think of that can make this debatable includes Memento, Apocalypse now, JFK
  22. I don't rule out the possibility that Parasite top both BoT top 100 foreign language and Top 100 films of all time list.
  23. Clockwork Orange is a comedy version of the City of God, in the dark way of course. The thing have some of the most disgusting scene that I ever seen in a movie, The practical effect was so effectively gross that made 2011 remake like a cartoon although by right the 2011 remake should looked better thanks to technological advancement. Both version prove once again, Practical effect > CGI. T The original make me feel thrilled and disgusted but 2011 remake only gave me thrill but maybe they intentionally tone IT down for commercial reason.
